    immature minds of those whom their researches have been designed to benefit. Whilst contemplating the works of Pasteur, Hansen, or Lindner—to mention but a few investi- gators—one must confess amazement at the infinity of detail contained therein and the colossal pro- portions of the tasks they have accomplished. In the majority of the works, however, at present available it cannot be gainsaid that they are, if one may use the expression, written above the head ” of all but specialists. This is to be regretted, for, with a fund of information so vast and valuable at hand for our improvement, it seems wasted energy should it not be fully understood, or that it should be regarded in the light of something too difficult for daily practice. It is the object of this work to lay, step by step, such a substratum of knowledge in the mind of the student that books which beforehand conveyed little or nothing to his intelligence may in future be read with understanding.
